You can visualize the peak level of each channel. The highest level registered on each channel can be displayed by
pressing the Mem button. When the level gets close enough to the saturation level, the name of the channel appears
highlighted in red. The Clear button resets the memory and the saturation indicators for every channel of the group.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A digital signal cannot technically exceed 0 dBFS. Therefore the red tag on top of each digital input
channel only indicates when the maximum level of 0dBFS is reached and does not necessarily indicate distortion or
clipping.
